Submiting a form with php socket

@resullivanJun 22.2005

How would I submit a form with a php socket? How does http submit a form? Is it part of the header? The form I am trying to submit is method=post and it is sent to a dll file.

@resullivanauthorJun 22.2005 — #I think that I found that with the post method it goes in the header but when I try it, it gives me a 404.

$in = "POST /tts/anontts.dll HTTP/1.1rn";

$in .= "Host: www.aaacooper.comn User-Agent: PostItrn";

$in .= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencodedrn";

$in .= "Content-Length: 14rnrn";

$in .= "SKEY0=" . urlencode(47994285) . "rn";

is there anything wrong with this? The variable is SKEY0 with the value 47994285

@chrysJun 22.2005 — #If I understand correctly, you should looking into cURL, a member of the PEAR library. http://pear.php.net/

@resullivanauthorJun 22.2005 — #This is what I am looking at doing. It is just not working.

@chrysJun 22.2005 — #Ah, that's what I though, try out cURL:

http://us2.php.net/curl

@bokehJun 22.2005 — #There's no reason it can't be done with a straight fsockopen();

@resullivanauthorJun 22.2005 — #it is sending the header but I am getting this

400 Bad Request

The system could not process your request as submitted. This could be due to missing or malformed data, improper syntax, or a browser that is not standards compliant.

I have this

 $request.="POST /tts/anontts.dll HTTP/1.1n";
   $request.="Host: www.aaacooper.comn";
   $request.="Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencodedn";
   $request.="Content-length: ".strlen($data_string)."n";
   $request.="Connection: closen";
   $request.="n";
   $request.=$data_string."n";

@chrysJun 22.2005 — #Did you read [URL=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=70375]this thread[/URL]?

@DaiWelshJun 22.2005 — #Have you got a packet sniffer to see exactly what is sent and receievd? If so check it still looks ok and also compare it to a request from a browser which works (assuming you can get that utl working with a browser). If nothing jumps out then post the results here...

@resullivanauthorJun 22.2005 — #I have never used a packet sniffer but am trying and cannot find where it will show what my computer is sending the website. I cannot find the POST header anywhere.

@resullivanauthorJun 22.2005 — #I am preaty sure that it is half way working now but I am unsure of the variable and values to send. I wish I could find what my computer sends the website.

@bokehJun 22.2005 — #If you want a great packet monitor free [URL=http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/pmon.htm]download this[/URL]. It lets you watch all the traffic on your network as well as just your local machine. I have a few packet monitors but I think this one is excellent. It can even be set to ignore the raw data and just show the text.

If you post the URL I will post the headers!

@resullivanauthorJun 22.2005 — #http://www.aaacooper.com/online/shipinfo/imagefetch.asp?PROnum=45488676

@DaiWelshJun 22.2005 — #Also if you would find it easier there are products for seeing specifically http headers, I don't have links here but something like "http interceptor" and "http sniffer" are two that seem to ring a bell, will probably show up on google. These act as local proxies for the web browser and will show you the http requests and responses without having to wade through a packet monitor output.

HTH,

Dai

Obviously the first in each pair is my browser and the second is the web server responding.

@resullivanauthorJun 23.2005 — #I got it working thanks for your help. I am trying to auto print some images that the links to them look something like this, viewimage.jsp?document=blah. There is some type of session (I think) so even though I have the exact link it does not work for some reason. Is there a way to perform some type of javascript with a socket. By this I mean like if the webpage has on click is there a way to make a socket click?

@resullivanauthorJun 23.2005 — #I can get to the page that has the image however I am not sure how to make it print. There is a print button on the page that uses javascript. What I am doing now is making the connection then getting this link then putting an <img src="blah"> on my php page. This comes up with a red X but sometimes but if I go and check it on the website and then go back to my php page the image will come up.

@resullivanauthorJun 23.2005 — #If I could some how make the socket click the print button that would be great however the down fall to that is I would have to sit here and press print in the print box.

@resullivanauthorJun 23.2005 — #please disreguard the javascript question as I see now how dumb it is.
